Wii Shovelware

Wiiiiii would like to play! It’s time to talk about some of the strangest, funniest and generally unplayable games ever to grace Nintendo’s second best-selling console. It’s the Wii Shovelware episode! Erin from the Fake Gamer Girls podcast joins the show to recount some of her favourite memories around playing games such as Party Babyz, Action Girlz Racing, Bratz Kidz, and The Bee Movie Game (wow no Z on that one?). The Wii was truly the perfect storm for high quatity, low quality games that were created mostly to dupe consumers into buying the much cheaper option than the Mario and Zeldas on the shelves at the time. Jump into the show and see why Safe Cracker (yes that is a game) was Mike’s pick as the greatest of this very small sample of Wii Shovelware.
